  • Burnette, Dawn. Daily Grammar Practice - Grade 9: Original and Advanced. DGP Publishing, 2024

    Daily Grammar Practice (DGP) is an instructional approach designed to improve students' grammar skills through consistent, short, daily exercises. The method focuses on a step-by-step, cumulative learning process where students analyze and correct sentences over the course of a week. Each day, students tackle a different aspect of grammar such as identifying parts of speech, sentence structure, punctuation, and diagramming sentences, building their understanding progressively.

    DGP emphasizes repetition and application, helping students internalize grammar rules and improve their writing skills. The practice is typically brief, taking only a few minutes each day, making it easy to incorporate into any classroom routine. By regularly engaging with grammar in a focused, deliberate manner, students can develop a strong foundation in the mechanics of writing, leading to clearer and more effective communication.
